Now that we're 5 years into the 2020s, I thought it would be a good time to see what your favorite games are for the first half of the decade. Ranging from January 2020-December 2024.

List can be subject to change considering there's still a few more weeks in the year and you may remember a game you forgot about and want to adjust your list

Currently my list would have to be:

1) Half-Life: Alyx
2) Baldur's Gate 3
3) Resident Evil 4 (2023)
4) Ghost of Tsushima
5) System Shock (2023)

Right on

5. Elden Ring
4. Metroid Dread
3. Chained Echoes
2. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
1. Ori and the Will of the Wisps

1. Elden Ring
2. Horizon Forbidden West
3. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV
4. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

The Last of Us Part II, Spiritfarer, and A Plague Tale: Requiem are close, but not quite in the top 5.

Elden Ring
Resident Evil 4
Ghostwire Tokyo
Tales of Arise
Resident Evil 3 remake

1) Baldurs Gate 3
2) Elden Ring
3) Ori and The Will of Wisps

...I am a Nintendo fan lol. Plus, I was kinda out-of-the-loop prior to Summer 2022.

I haven’t played Tears of the Kingdom yet - but plan to sometime after XCX (currently doing Witcher 3 on Deathmarch, and don’t see that ending until February or March). Since I liked Breath of the Wild so much, I’m going to guess it’ll be up there. But, so far:

1. Animal Crossing: NH
2. Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection
3. Don’t Starve Together
4. Dragon Quest 3 HD remake
5. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Honourable Mention: Switch Sports

Witcher 3, if released 3 months later would be #1.

If including PC: Dwarf Fortress Steam Edition, Crusader Kings 3, Victoria 3.

1. Elden Ring
2. Yakuza: Like A Dragon
3. Balatro
4. The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
5. Resident Evil 4

Oh that’s an easy list.

1. Cyberpunk 2077 (2020)
2. Elden Ring (2022)
3. Half-Life: Alyx (2020)
4. Baldur’s Gate 3 (2023)
